TVV, Thank you for that insight into the adoption of Martini bayonets by Egypt. As you say, this may well be a memento of the Sudan Wars from the early 1900s. The etching on my knife is so similar to what appears on kaskara from the Mahdist period that I think it likely was done in Sudan by a local who was familiar with the old inscriptions.
